Chapter 9: It's Not a Pity to Die!

Xu Yan secretly gave Su Ming a thumbs up.

With Zhao Tian, the trip will be much easier.

Su Ming and they are new here, and they don't have a firm position... In the sea where they are going, they do not know how to get supplies at sea.

With Zhao Tian, they can also enter the industry faster.

From an emotional point of view, they also respect Zhao Tian from the bottom of their hearts

In a few words, the car arrived at the shipyard.

Zhao Tian said: "The three of us are going to sea this time, how many fishermen do we have to carry?" ”

"It's better to have four people." "If there are four people, you don't have to pay for fuel. If you put it well...... You can make some money. ”

Zhao Tian smiled, looked at Su Ming, and said, "There is a little bit of the smell of the shipowner." ”

Xu Yan said: "I don't think it's bad for the three of us to go to sea. It would be nice to catch a few more fish. ”。

"Why risk it if you can make money? Also, fishing is important. ”

Zhao Tian also said, "Managing fishing vessels without losing money is the most important thing...... And the cost of fuel to go to sea is not low. Can you guarantee that the fish you catch is worth the fuel bill? ”

What else does Xu Yan want to say? Su Ming patted him and said, "There are some things you can't do too fast, take your time." ”

Xu Yan thought for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay." ”

Come to the shipyard.

"Senior brother, how much did you sell?" Zhao Tian asked.

"90,000 yuan," Mr. Xu said.

"It's a good fountain pen." Zhao Tian said enviously, "By the way, when do you plan to go to sea?" ”

Su Ming said: "The sea conditions have not been very good in recent days. When the windy season has passed...... At the end of the month, if the weather is good, go out. ”。

Su Ming and Xu Yan prepare to take the car driver's license and yacht driver's license

The yacht driving license has not yet been registered. We'll talk about it after we've passed the course.

Another thing is to wait for the sign on the fishing boat.

There is no sign of it. It's troublesome to run out to the open sea and call for help.

After about ten days, look at the weather.

"How much does it cost to go to sea?" Liu Bei asked, "Do you have time to go fishing?" ”

"Three days and two nights, 6,000 yuan per fishing position. Stop fishing for at least five to six hours a day. The boat will definitely stop fishing at 37 minutes. You need to rest at night and you can also fish during your break...... The time is not fixed. Su Ming thought for a while and said, "We won't stop in one place and wait for the fish, but we will find the fish." ”

Thirty-seven points is the high tide, three points is the low tide, and seven points is the high tide. These two time points are best for fishing

"Can you drag?" Li Qiang said.

"If you want to use two towing positions, the cost must be calculated separately," Su Ming said. ”。

"This ...... How much is an hour? Li Qiang said.

"1,500 yuan per hour."

Li Qiang took a deep breath: "It's too expensive." ”

"1,500 yuan, an hourly refueling fee," Su Min said.

"It doesn't take that much oil ......to drag," Liu said.

This fee is too expensive.

"A fish will return to its original position," Xu Yan said with a smile.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "The price is a bit high, we might as well take a boat out...... Three days and two nights, with a separate bedroom, about 4,000 yuan. ”

"There is no way to deal with the price. The current cost of fuel is too expensive. "If you go out on a sightseeing fishing boat, the price will be cheaper, but it's not easy to get back the cost of fishing." ”

"It's cheaper to drag." Li Qiang said, "1,500 yuan an hour." It's really a bit pricey. ”

"We also want to make money...... Let's do it, drag 800 yuan per rod, one hour. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei could accept it.

The towing cost of 800 yuan per hour is expensive but acceptable.

Liu Bei said: "For three days and two nights, the ice we brought has melted. ”

"We will install a freezer on the fishing boat. If there is too much fish, we will sell it directly at sea. Su Ming said, "This time we will go out to see the fish." If there are not many fish, we will come back in three days and two nights. If there are a lot of fish, we will stay at sea for a few more days...... If the total catch per day exceeds 10,000 yuan, it will be even more. ”

"Yes," Liu Bei nodded.

Liu Bei and the others were professional fishermen. They go fishing to make money, not for sightseeing.

"How many people are going to sea this time?"

"Seven people." Su Ming said, "If you and Li Qiang want to go, we will find two more people here." ”

The cost of fishing ranges from high to low.

It does not depend on the size of the boat, but on the horsepower.

The higher the power of the ship, the higher the fuel consumption and the higher the cost.

The fee is basically settled.

Each fishing spot costs 6,000 yuan, three days and two nights. On top of that, an additional $500 will be added for each additional day of stay.

Towing charges range from 800 yuan to 500 yuan per hour.

In the end, Su Ming and his company will take a 20% cut of the profits of more than 5,000 yuan.

This profit is deducted from their offshore expenses. Liu Bei and Li Qiang work together, that is, they have to earn 10,000 yuan, and the excess will be given to Su Ming.

After Liu Bei looked at the general navigation chart they planned, he said that there was no problem and paid a deposit of 3,000 yuan.

Luck in fishing at sea is very important. Even a single fish is worth the boat fare. It's not much, but it's not unusual. They are not sightseeing fishing boats, but will actively look for fish.

After the negotiations, Su Ming and his family had lunch in Zhaotian and discussed the installation of ultra-low temperature freezers for fishing boats. The minimum temperature of the ultra-low temperature freezer should reach minus 80 degrees Celsius.

In addition to the refrigeration room, air conditioning should also be installed in the cabin.

"There are two options for the freezer. One is to install two lengths of freezers and remove a row of seats in the cockpit. The other is to convert the fresh ice tank and live fish tank No. 1 on the aft deck into freezers, but in order to fit the size of the freezer, it needs to be customized. After dinner, Zhao Tian came to the fishing boat with a ruler and measured the size.

It's easy to install a refrigerator on a fishing boat. It's also hard to say.

The freezer required for Su Ming should be at least 900 liters. If not handled properly, the stability of the fishing vessel can be compromised when the refrigerator is full.

That is, the fishing boat is relatively wide, so there is better room for modification.

Su Ming said: "It was changed to a fresh ice tank and a live fish tank. The cabin space is relatively small and not easy to replace. ”。

"Do you want to change the generator?" Xu Yan asked.

"Nope. The generator of this fishing boat is very large. I want you to replace it with a smaller generator. A 35-kilowatt generator is a waste," Zhao said.

However, the fishing vessel has recessed lights around its hull for night fishing at sea. The 35kw engine is not a waste.

"How long does it take to customize a fridge?"

"The timing is uncertain. Let me first research if there is a ready-made freezer of the same size...... If not, customize them. If customized, it will take time as soon as possible. ”

Finally, it's about air conditioning.

Using air conditioning on a fishing boat is simple

It's summer. Without air conditioning, it is difficult to spend the night at sea.

After saying this, Xu Yan also washed the deck of the fishing boat, and then took Su Ming to the bank and transferred the money in the shares to Su Ming.

Su Ming paid Xu Yan 800,000 yuan for the 1.61 million yuan fishing boat.

Su Ming holds 60% of the shares, and Xu Yan holds 40% of the shares.

"I think when we get our yacht driving license, we can go to sea on our own...... With my ability, I can't catch fish, and I can't shoot back a few from the sea. Xu Yan said.

"The sea conditions at home are not as good as those abroad." Su Ming shrugged and said, "As a ship owner, there are many things to learn. Don't worry, take your time......"

He rode home, called Suna and Zhou Lan, and then went to the Maritime Academy to register. Clubs can also be enrolled, but the cost is higher.

A yacht driver's license is not the same as a car driver's license.

Once the car license arrives, the yacht license needs to wait for at least a dozen people before the class can start

The last class was only two days old, so they had to wait.

"Did you catch a mackerel at sea today?" Suna asked on the way back.

"Three mackerel were caught."

"Where are the fish?" Zhou Lan said.

"One for Master and them, and the other for ......the others," Su Ming said, "That mackerel has more than a dozen catties, can you finish it?" ”

Xu Yan said with a smile: "I also caught a horse of more than 400 kilograms. ”

"More than four hundred kilograms?" Zhou Lan drove over and looked: "...... heavier than me"

"He's never seen the world before." Xu Yan looked at her sister with a black line on her face and said, "The largest sailfish I caught is more than 600 kilograms. ”

"What kind of fish is Damarin?"

"The old man and the sea, you know?" Xu Yan said.

"I know...... I haven't seen it. ”

"The big fish in there is Damarin."

"Where are the fish?" Suna asked.

"Sold."

"More than 400 catties, how much did you sell?"

"Ninety thousand yuan."

"Only 90,000?"

"Only 90,000 ......" Su Ming looked at his sister silently and said, "Can you make 90,000 yuan in a year?" ”

Su Ming's words not only pierced Suna's heart, but also Zhou Lan's heart. Two people can't do it at once

Xu Yan said with a smile: "90,000 yuan is a lot of money. Send us to driving school and we learn to drive. ”

"You don't have to wait until the topic is over."

Su Ming said: "Study early, take exams early." ”。

There are many young people learning to drive at Yamashiro Driving School.

Su Ming asked Suna to wait with them in the car, and then contacted Xu Yan about the coach. Soon, they were assigned to the car.

They rarely touch the car, starting with the accelerator, brakes, and clutch.

It seems that both Suna and Zhou Lan can drive, it's very simple. However, after Su Ming and Xu Yan took over, they couldn't control their strength well because they hadn't touched the car before

Start the car, release the clutch and turn off the engine several times.

After an afternoon of practice, Su Ming and his team were finally able to drive on the course, but they still didn't touch reversing and parking.

Back at Zhapo, Su Ming called Zhao Tian: "Master, come out for dinner at night, and call Shi Niang together." ”

"What to eat?"

"Either way, you have a choice. Call Zhao Tian to join us. ”

"Eat hot pot," Zhao said.

"Okay." Su Ming smiled and said, "I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time." Where is the location? ”

"It's only five, and it's over now?"

"Eat slowly."

"Okay," Zhao Tian said, hanging up the phone.

After receiving the address sent by Zhao Tian, Su Ming gave the address to Zhou Lan.

This hot pot restaurant is well decorated and has a lot of dishes.

This fat cow costs more than 30 yuan for a plate, which is enough. Oysters three yuan a piece. They are good. There are many types of seafood and the price is reasonable.

Su Ming and them went over to book a private room and a mandarin duck pot with clear soup and red soup in it. Xu Yan took Zhou Lan out to order

Su Ming was also with Suna and went out to see the seafood.

Suna said: "Oysters are only three yuan each, which is too cheap. ”。

"Less common, more weird. If you go to the farm, you can buy a big bag for a few dozen dollars. Hemp. Su Ming saw the fresh lobster and said, "Eat the lobster." ”

"350 yuan? 1 pound or 1 pound? ”

"1 pound."

The word "1 catty" is relatively small.

Nowadays, there are relatively few lobsters, and they are live lobsters. There is a hot pot restaurant here, 350 yuan a kilogram is about the same.

If it is the lobster fishing season, fresh lobster should be more than 100 yuan per kilogram. The price of the same seafood varies greatly from season to season. It's the same as off-season vegetables

Su Ming and them came in advance and ordered a large table of meat and seafood.

After waiting in the box for a while, Zhao Tian and them came here.

"Today I made a small fortune with Xu Yan's light." Su Ming pointed to the plate on the table and said with a smile, "Look at what else you want to eat, order more." ”

"That's enough." Zhao Tian smiled and said, "If it's not enough, we'll order more." ”

The waiter brought in a few barrels of draft beer. Su Ming stood up and took it and filled it with Zhao Tian and Milan. Then he returned to his seat: "Master, don't pour us wine today, everyone can eat and drink as they please." ”

"Hahaha...... Good. Eat and drink as much as you want......" Zhao Tian threw some mushrooms, razor clams, clams, prawns and crabs into the soup pot.

Zhao Tian eats light food, unlike Su Ming and them. It can be said that without spicy food, they are not happy.

Xu Yan raised his glass and said, "Let's have a drink." ”

"Take a walk."

Everyone raised their glasses and took a big sip.

Su Ming said, "Captain, when can I get the license of the fishing boat back?" ”。

"In a few days," Zhao Tian said, "why are you in such a hurry to go to sea?" ”

Su Ming shook his head and said, "We are trying to name the fishing boat. I think it's better to upgrade the far ship. Xu Yan thinks that it is better to upgrade the distant ship......"

"Ascension is about the same as ascension."

"I think his name should be at the top of the list. He's bigger than me and he's a major shareholder," Xu said.

"I'll go...... I'm older than you, and I'll be 11 days older than you. ”

"Eleven days older than me."

"Look at my appearance. How tender I am. Su Min said as he scalded a piece of fat cow and cooked it twice. As tender as this beef. ”

"You're disgusting..."

Everyone laughs and talks about where there are more fish. Talking about fishing before

There are two large fishing ports in the mountain city, and there are several large fishing ports in the surrounding area.

In the early years, we were poor and failed to protect marine resources. The management of fishing vessels is particularly regulated... All kinds of household nets. This has led to the endangerment of offshore resources.

Now, offshore resources have recovered only a little.

It is difficult to say how many fish there are in the offshore area.

However, within 100 nautical miles, there are several places suitable for going out to sea. The nearest place is near Peng Island, and the farther place is the sea area of Sail Rock... The Qizhou Islands are not far away, and then there are some hidden reefs on the edge of the continental shelf. The edge of the continental shelf belongs to the open sea

In general, there are fewer fish here. Compared to inshore fisheries in Brazil

Su Ming and his former fleet fish mainly off the coast of Brazil, with the occasional trip to Antarctic waters to catch krill. Plus, after completing the mission, you can try your luck in the South Pacific and catch those precious fish. For example, tuna and some fish.

It's easy to fish near isolated islands or around coral reefs in the South Pacific. Every time I have a good harvest

But now it's different.

Su Ming is now the owner of the ship, which is a second-class fishing vessel with a limited range and high fuel consumption.

"How old is that fishing boat you live in?" Suna asked.

"More than 200 tons."

"Why are there more than 200 tons?" Zhou Lan looked at it and said, "My brother said that your fishing boat has more than 5,000 tons. ”

"More than 5,000 tons is a mother ship," Su Ming said with a smile.

Xu Yan also smiled.

"Can fishing boats over 200 tons go to Brazil?" Suna thinks fishing boats over 200 tons are too small.

Su Ming said, "More than 200 fishing boats are not small, about 36 meters long. Think about it, the height of a building on the first floor is about 3 meters, 36 meters...... If the fishing boat is erected, it is at least the height of a building on the second floor, which is not small. ”

"Your fishing boats are consuming too much fuel. Can Jiangnan fishing boats make money? Is the cost of fuel too high? How to replenish at sea? Suna was very curious.

"Our fishing boats used to have about 400 horsepower." "Fishing boats are not fast, and if you want to sail far, the boat has to follow the current," Su Ming said. The speed of fishing vessels is estimated at the twelfth quarter of this year...... It doesn't have as much fuel guzzling as my fishing boat. ”

Fuel consumption is mainly determined by power.

The main engine power of Jiangnan fishing boats is usually more than 300 kilowatts. If you follow the current, you don't need to drive the host to the maximum

"How can we supply after a few years at sea?" Suna asked, "How many years will it take if you don't go ashore?" ”

For the latter question, not only Suna and Lin Xiaoyue were curious.

Zhao Tian rarely talked about Jiangnan at home

Xu Yan looked at Suna and said, "Didn't you just say that there is a mother ship." The mother ship is also called the base ship. We send seafood caught in small fishing boats to the mother ship for processing and then ship it back to China. In addition to the mother ship, we can also contact the supply ship at sea. Supply ships can be used to resupply supplies and refuel. ”

Jiangnan fishing boats go to sea for months, even years. Such a long time must be replenished

Of course, there are also large, independent fishing vessels. But there are very few such fishing boats. And the wages of large ships are not as high as those of small boats

So Su Ming's fishing boat has 420 horsepower, which is really not small. Fuel consumption is also high

"Does this mean that your fishing boat consumes more fuel than the fishing boats in Jiangnan?" Suna said.

"Hmm......" Su Ming said for a few seconds, "If the Jiangnan fishing boat is at full power, it must be that the fuel consumption of the Jiangnan fishing boat is getting higher and higher." The engine is not the same......"

Xu Yan shrugged with a smile and said, "It's not easy to calculate...... However, if we use the same amount of time, the average fuel consumption of our fishing vessels will definitely be higher. ”

However, for a Class 2 fishing vessel, it has a top speed of 30 knots and a fuel consumption of less than 90 litres per hour, which is very good. That's why other new fishing boats of the same size and shape cost 6.7 million yuan, while Su Ming's second-hand fishing boat still needs 1.6 million yuan.
